Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
bacteria, other: Salmonella typhimurium: TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100. Escherichia coli: WP2uvrA-

Additional information on results:
Observations:
Solvent control plates gave counts of revertant colonies
within the normal range.

All positive control chemicals gave increases in revertants,
either with or without the metabolising system as
appropriate, within expected ranges. Statistically
significant increases in the numbers of revertant colonies
was recorded for the bacterial strain TA100 both with and
without metabolic activation at the upper dose levels of the
substance. Smaller increases were also observed in tester
strain TA98. The substance was found to be mutagenic under
the conditions of this test.
